Participants are sure to be covered in both mud and glory when the famously tough Human Race Off-Road Series returns later this year.

WildMan (November 19), IceMan (December 3) and MudMan (March 11) form the series of testing trail run and duathlons.

The series begins with WildMan held at Ash Ranges near Aldershot on Saturday November 19, where trail runners can choose from 10k or 15k options, with individual and relay duathlons (10k run, 18k bike, 5k run) also available.

On Saturday December 3, IceMan will be held at the Army Training Ground in Frimley .

Those wanting to attempt the trail run can choose from 11k and 16k courses, whilst the duathlon will be a 10k run followed by 18k on the bike and a 5k run to finish, with both individual and relay entries available once again.

After a respite allowing competitors to pause for breath, the monstrous 2016/17 Human Race Off-Road series rears its head for a final time at MudMan on Saturday March 11.

The event returns to Ministry of Defence land in Camberley , known for its hilly terrain and 50 foot water section – scene of many a dramatic splashdown over the years.

Individual and relay duathlons (7.5 run, 15k cycle, 7.5 run) as well as 10k and 15k trail run courses will be held. Those brave enough to take on all three of the gruelling challenges can take advantage of a reduced-price package deal, and will be included in the off-road leaderboard giving them the opportunity to win a trophy and some great cash prizes.

Sam Keir, marketing and communications executive at Human Race Limited, said: “The courses contain no gimmicks, so it really is just ‘You vs Nature’, a battle sure to test both the body and mind, but always remaining tremendous fun.”
